Chapter 684
The fleet hurried back to Dengzhou port, which attracted the attention of everyone on the shore. When Zeng Yi disembarked, the two grassland people were already waiting for Zeng Yi on the shore with smiles on their faces. In the past few days, Zeng Yi They frantically attacked the transport fleet on the island country's waters, causing a shortage of food and grass for Gurhan. At present, the army on the front line of Gurhan has slowed down the pace of attack, and the Mengge army has finally ushered in a rare opportunity Rest time, and Brother Meng is preparing to contact Xixia, trying to win over this former ally of Gu Erhan!
When Zeng Yi saw the two of them, he vomited bitterness, told what happened very difficultly, and dragged them to watch, all with wounded battleships!The two of them were also very good, and said to Zeng Yi respectfully: "Your Excellency, Brother Meng Khan, I am very satisfied with this mission. Don't worry, we will be responsible for the repair of the battleship. Please continue for a few days, Your Excellency." ! Buy us more time!"

After hearing what the two said, Zeng Yi immediately sat down and raised the price, "What? How many more days do you have to fight for? No, no, you are! I don't know how dangerous it is, we may be besieged by island countries at any time, and my brothers are also a little tired Out to sea!"

Hearing what Zeng Yi said, the two became anxious: "My lord, my lord, please, after insisting on it for a few days, Khan said, as long as it is cut off for a few days, after the matter is completed, each person can receive an extra 500 yuan in the royal court." Two silver rewards!"

"Made! Brother Meng, this is nothing! But can you guys give me the money and let me distribute the money? If you are like this, how can I still get kickbacks?" My heart was full of complaints, but my mouth But he pretended to be hesitant, trying to win some benefits for himself, but before Zeng Yi could speak, the group of guys who got off the boat heard this and added another 500 taels of silver, shouting excitedly one by one: "What! Add more 500 taels of silver? No problem, senior brother, don’t worry, we are not bored at all, we are already fighting high, and we can’t wait to go to sea immediately!”

".Damn! Why do I have such a group of pig teammates!"

Looking back at the two grassland people who were staring at him, Zeng Yi was powerless to say anything, and could only say: "Okay, wait for the ship to be repaired and the ammunition replenished, let's set off immediately!"

After discussing with the two, the people from the shipyard arrived, looked at the damage of the fleet, and said to Zeng Yi: "Don't worry, my lord, these are minor injuries, and they can be repaired in half a day!"

"Half a day, don't you take a good look at it? Look at my Jiaolong. There are so many injuries on it. Are you sure it can be repaired in a long time?" Zeng Yi pointed to several places on the ship that were attacked by the enemy.

"Don't worry, my lord, our skills are very good, half a day is enough!"

Zeng Yi silently raised his middle finger at several NPCs, "Fuck! I still want to go back to the capital to comfort Xiao Xuehua, who is alone in the vacant room. You have repaired it in half a day, how can I go back!"

The plan to go back to pay the public rations fell through, and Zeng Yi was very disappointed. At this moment, a guy with a thick waist and a wide head, who looked like a local rich man, walked over and took a look. The ten pieces brought back by Zeng Yi and his fleet Several transport ships full of grain opened their mouths and said to Zeng Yi, "My lord, are you the commander of this fleet?"

"I am! What are you doing?"

"The villain is a legal businessman registered by the imperial court. I don't know if you can buy the food behind?"

When Zeng Yi heard it, he immediately realized that this guy was a red-capped businessman who was upside down and privateering the spoils of ships. He immediately said, "Sell, sell! I don't know how much it will cost?"

The businessman stretched out his palm, "How about I give you 500 taels of silver for each ship's food?"

"500 taels? No, I'm at a loss, so I have to pay 1000 taels!" Zeng Yi didn't know the price, but he was used to cheating people, so he doubled the price first. The price starts from the floor!
When the businessman heard this, he seemed to be cut by a knife, and said in surprise, "No, no, no, we won't make any money at 1000 taels! How about this, I'll give you some more, how about 600 taels?"

"Minimum nine hundred!"

"Up to seven hundred!"

The two sides bargained for a while, and finally Zeng Yi sold it to this guy for 800 taels of silver, the price of a ship of grain. Zeng Yi captured a total of more than a dozen transport ships, and the rest were sunk. After all, there are 1 taels of silver!The businessman immediately took out a stack of silver bills and handed them to Zeng Yi. As soon as Zeng Yi took them, he found something was wrong. He often touched the silver bills, but he immediately found that the thickness was wrong. When he counted them, it was only 7000 taels. Zeng Yi exploded." Damn! Don't you want to live with my money, don't you?" Zeng Yi picked up the Tianzi knife as he spoke!

"My lord! My lord has misunderstood! Have you forgotten that the booty obtained from private looting will be subject to a three-tiered tax!"

When the businessman said this, Zeng Yi remembered that there was still a three-tier tax!Can't help complaining: "The tax is so high!" Zeng Yi just put away 7000 taels of silver!
After the transaction was completed, all the food on board belonged to the red-capped businessman. As a result, this guy was not in a hurry to dump the food, so he said to the two prairie people in front of Zeng Yi: "Two distinguished guests from the prairie, I wonder if you need it?" We need food, and the food for each ship only needs 500 taels of silver, and we can deliver it to your door!"

The two grassland people agreed without even thinking about it. In a grassland war, no amount of food is too much!

"Oh! How angry!" Zeng Yi waited and stared at the businessman, wanting to chop him up! "Is it really okay for you to just trade in front of me like this? Made, I will sell them directly next time!"

The businessman had an indifferent attitude: "My lord is joking. As an official of the imperial court, my lord will definitely abide by the imperial court's embargo on the grassland!"

"Made! This is a monopoly, collusion between government and business!!!"

After the grain was delivered, the guy actually asked Zeng Yi again, would he sell those transport ships? He could give Zeng Yi a high price, but Zeng Yi didn't even bother to listen, and said directly: "Not for sale!" Ships are in high demand, although they are not warships. , but this kind of ocean-going ship is still very popular. As long as he releases the news, many guilds will definitely come to buy it!Zeng Yi planned in his heart that when he came back next time, he would buy more ships like this, release the news directly, and hold an auction!

What the shipyard said was good. In just half a day, the damaged ships in the fleet have been repaired, and the two grassland people have also replenished their weapons and ammunition. Zeng Yi has no reason to shirk, so he can only take it again The fleet departs!
